TheBEASTunchained Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 The condition of the former park.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vh2KcyMDS0 In all honesty that is very sad to see, and in many different lights, very devastating to some. 15 Quote
upstop Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Is that an RC helicopter view, ultralight or a drone? Sad to see the destruction....kind of apocalyptic. Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Cedar Fair just needs to get some bulldozers in there and just level the ground. Kind of like what you do in RCT. The only thing they cannot do is remove Big Dipper because some mystery person owns that. I wish he/she would just sell it to another park or sell it back to Cedar Fair so they can move it to another park in the chain. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 If that person still owns that coaster, Cedar Fair could have benefited from the services of a good real estate attorney. 2 Quote
BB1 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I'd just buy the park and make my own little theme park! Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I'd just buy the park and make my own little theme park! Nope. Cedar Fair will doubtless restrict the property to prohibit such a use. 2 Quote

Cedar Fair will doubtless restrict the property to prohibit such a use.While I will still dream, although I won't use too much pathos on you all, for I save that in my writings. BB1, a dream weaver, not a dream maker. (Who also uses way too much rhetoric) Quote
PyroKinesis Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Nope. Cedar Fair will doubtless restrict the property to prohibit such a use. Then just do the DIsney approach. Create multiple fake organizations, say you're going to turn it into a strip mall, and then SURPRISE, amusement park! Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Nope. The property is being offered for sale with deed restrictions preventing amusement park use. Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Wow...it was hard to honestly make stuff out as its been such a long time...I wish he would have went over the full park but I'm still thankful for this... Ugh its such a shame, my first coasters, rides, ect. All from that park right there Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 4 Beta 5 Quote
RollerNut Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Why prevent a half demo-ed amusement park from ever being another amusement park again? I am surprised Skycoaster is still standing, was it sold like Big Dipper? Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Two words: Cedar Point. Next question? 2 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 As much as I hate believing that's the answer...its sadly true Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote
shark6495 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Wow. I drove by the park about 4 years ago. It looked horrible then, but I didnt expect this. This is just sad. Buildings collapsed in on themselves. 100 times worse than I thought. At 1:30 on the video you can see a bunch of square footers? What was that part of the park? What was there? Also, Terp, Im sure if someone offered enough money the deed restrictions could be lifted. That would probably need to be a bunch of money, but it could happen, not probable, but could... Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Isn't that from thunderhawk/serial thriller Quote

I really, truly don't think so. Not everything is for sale. 2 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Sad thing is, I'd pay money just go in and romp around for awhile just looking through everything and taking in everything that I was involved in as a kid 4 Quote
shark6495 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Found a decent overview picture Picture from http://aboveallohio.com/archive2007.html Would Seriel Thriller be the Yellow Ride? 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I'm on my phone. If there is only one yellow ride, that is Batman: Knight Flight aka Dominator. Serial Thriller was teal and red. Looks closely. Yep, I think that was the later Serial Thriller. They did paint it yellow. Had another name. Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 It was until it got repainted and rebranded thunder hawk post Cedar Fair acquisition Quote
PyroKinesis Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Nope. The property is being offered for sale with deed restrictions preventing amusement park use. Yeah, I'm going to need a source on that. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Contact them and try to buy the property. Someone here HAS. 1 Quote
PyroKinesis Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Even if it's true, I doubt that holds up in a court of law. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 It is true, and "restrictive covenants" are routinely enforced. 1 Quote
Gabe Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Yes, I haven't heard anything more on the Big Dipper for a couple of years..not since I helped a forum member here and their partner with some legal advice on how to attempt to purchase the coaster..they couldn't raise the needed funds in time. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 It's about time this property sold... Terp, doing his thing. 2 Quote
